F1 FOLLOWER: First Free Turkish testing-Lightning-Alonso!!

6/5/11,

Fernando Alonso was almost 2 seconds fastest than everyone, with Vettel destroying his RB7 at turn 8!!

Fernando Alonso put Ferrari on top of the first time periods of the free trial period of theTurkish Grand Prix. The Spaniard did a 1.38.670, a performance achieved in the middle of the process and while the weather allowed him to use intermediate tires. The beginning and end of the first period matched a lot of rain that turned the circuit of Istanbul in a lake, causing aquaplaning multiple outputs.

The point at which the driver then lost control was rapidly the turning 11, but paved with asphalt escape exit ensure their safe return to the track. Which was not the case of Sebastian Vettel, who broke his car of Red Bull Racing, causing the red flag period.
The German lost control at the exit of the last apex of eight, when he stepped on the curb and from there was simply a passenger. The RB7 suffered several losses and the engineers of the team will have some work ahead of them so the 23 year old to participate in the second free trial period.

Jenson Button only did a slow lap at the end of the session to do a practice start, and team mate Lewis Hamilton didn’t even do that after stopping at the pit lane exit. HRT’s Narain Karthikeyan stopped early in the session with an engine problem but was able to re-join later on.

The accident caused a ten-minute break in the action, which came back with 15 minutes remaining to complete the process. These have not changed many times and generally far can be considered representative. For example , behind the Ferrari were found the two Mercedes GP of Nico Rosberg and Michael Schumacher, who moved to 1.40 , as the same did the two Renault, the Sauber of Kamui Kobayahsi and the other Ferrari of Felipe Massa.
